Good idea Fred. Just yesterday I dropped a washer and it rolled away somewhere??? That 2 x 2 edge would have keep it close and easy to fine. Also, the plywood soaks up oil and does not scratch bits like concrete will.
Hi Bob,but why do it on the grass ? isn't there concrete or pavement around ? .... drain pan and cat litter are all ya need then !
Bob.......
I don't wonder why people do what they do. My question is what did you use to get to that one bolt on the starter with the engine still in the frame...
Hi mickey,
although I'm on the "WhyTF you do that???" side of the discussion here's what I'd advise someone doing bike work on someone else's pretty grass.
Buy an 8' x 4' sheet of plywood and screw 2x2s around it to make a giant drip tray & parts catch-plate to put the bike on.
Some day way in the future when I have the privilege of asking that great Guru on the mountain some really important and mysterious questions, I will learn why one would want to remove the starter from his motorcycle. I may also learn why others remove the suspension from the rear of their motorcycles.
I would ask the Guru these questions even if I am only allowed two questions, forgoing the answer to which came first, the chicken or the egg and "what's it all about, Alfie".

Confusous says" man go thru turnstile backward going to bankok "
It should be noted if you are gonna go with the freeze plug method, which only cost around $1.50 for a 1 53/64" plug you will definitely have to split that case. You have to tap that plug in from the inside.
I suppose yes you could.Hi figure8.
ain't it possible to turn the freeze plug around backwards and tap it in from the outside?
